[E]
I was like,
[G#m] I [C#m] was like,
My favorite [E] songs,
When [A] they played I'd [F#m] sing along,
[G#m]
It made [A] me [F#m] smile.
[C#]
[E] Such happy times,
And not [G#m] so long ago,
[C#m] How I wonder where [A] they'd [D#m] gone.
[G#] [C#m] But they're back again,
Just like [E] a long lost friend.
[A] All the songs [F#m] I loved so [A]
well,
[B] Every [E] shot still [C#m]
[E] shines.
[C#m]
[E] Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
[C#m] That they're starting to sing [F#m] so fine.
[B]
[A] [B] [C#m] When they get you to part,
[C] When he's breaking her heart,
[E] It can really make [A#] me cry.
Just like [E] before,
[A]
It's [E] yesterday once more.
[A] Shooby [F#m]-doo-lang-lang,
[E] [C#m] Shooby [A]-doo-lang-lang,
[E] Looking back on how it [G#m] was in years gone by,
[C#m] And the good times that I had,
Makes it seem rather [G#m] sad,
But so much [F#m] has changed.
[A] [B] [E] It's the songs of [B] love that [G#m] I would sing to them,
[C#m] And I'd memorize each [A] word.
[D#m] [G#] Those [C#m] old melodies still sound so good to me,
[A] As if a hundred years away,
[E] Every shot [B]
[C#m] still [E] shines.
[C#m]
[E] Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
[C#m] That they're starting to sing [F#m] so fine.
[A] [B]
[A] [B] All [C#m] my best memories [C] come back to me,
[E] Some can even make [A#] me cry.
Just like [E] before,
[F#m]
[E] It's yesterday once more.
[A] Shooby-doo [F#m]-lang-lang,
[A] [B] [E] Every shot [C#m] still [E] shines.
